They are the basic minions of the Scourge army and sometime drop a Minion's Scourgestone, as well as dropping bone fragments and runecloth. As the lowest-level mob to provide Argent Dawn reputation and drop Scourgestones, the Skeletal Flayer previously held the title of the most killed mob in game, but has since been surpassed by others in the expansions. They tend to be farmed by paladins using Holy Wrath.
